The Future of Stem Cell Therapeutics – Balancing Safety and Efficacy

August 29, 2022 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) 5 Comments

What do we know of the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? Over 50 years have passed since the discovery of hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow transplantation to cure diseases such as leukemia), over 20 years since the discovery of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), and 15 years since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). There are now thousands of stem cell trials underway in clinics worldwide.

Despite this experience, what do we actually know about the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? [Read more…]

Direct Cell Reprogramming: What Is It and How Does It Work?

February 12, 2022 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) 7 Comments

There has been tremendous activity over the last decade in the development of stem cells therapeutics, which have relied on stem cell differentiation protocols, as well as techniques for direct cell reprogramming. Today, there are over 6,300 stem cell trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and publications have increased dramatically in recent years, demonstrating the rapidly growing interest of the scientific community.

However, for all its promise, stem cells are yet to deliver on this therapeutic potential, and this failure appears due to various technical challenges that still need to be overcome. [Read more…]
